The predominant method of construction delivery in publicorganizations has been through the design/bid/ build (DBB) form of contract, althoughorganizations in a number of states have increasingly used design/ build (DB)and construction management at risk (CM@Risk) to improve their control over thequality of completed facilities. DBB has many wellknown shortcomings: there isa greatly protracted process necessary for programming, design, bidding, and bidaward, followed by construction. Oftentimes delays further extend the projectduration and may result in cost inflation as time goes by. Litigation and disputesare very common with this method of construction delivery because of thediffering perceptions and expectations of the three parties involved—owners,designers, and contractors. In many cases “absence of litigation” is a veryimportant performance indicator. Litigation can be an especially thorny issuefor public organizations. An aggressive pursuit of claims against designers andcontractors can be politically undesirable and unpleasant.
The DB method of project delivery has served both privateand public organizations well, as surveys have cited such benefits as shortenedduration, reduced costs, and improved constructability and innovation. In the stateof Florida ithas been used to reduce the time for building educational facilities—fromdesign through completion—by as much as two years. Studies have shown that thetime savings are primarily due to an ability to issue requests for proposals(RFPs) when design work is 50 percent complete or much less.
DB has the potential to provide better quality,especially with regard to the following aspects, which are considered to besubsets of quality: (a) communication is simplified and accelerated, as theowner has one point of contact; (b) the adversarial nature of the three-way relationshipinDBBprojects is avoided; (c) conflicts over the intent of the specificationsand their deployment are resolved internally; (d) the accelerated completion ofDB projects translates into greater owner satisfaction; and (e) cost growth isminimized for the owner. But to make this potential a reality, public ownersmust act proactively to secure quality construction on DB projects, as speedand cost containment, if unchecked, can also bring unsatisfactory quality. Forexample, the designer does not have a professionalor fiduciary relationshipwith the owner and, in some instances, may be required to favor the builder’s needsto meet bid price limitations over the owner’s needs.
The United States Postal Service has successfully usedthe DB method in constructing warehouse and distribution facilities. Theservice enhancesthe possibility of obtaining quality construction by prequalifyingDB contractors on the basis of a 21-item checklist that documents financialstability and construction experience but also looks at past performance and ata contractor’s track record with regard to quality and safety.
